GTA V records biggest launch in UK history
Rockstar's latest title, which launched globally on September 17, managed to sell around 1.57 million units in its first day on sale, pulling in around £65 million, according to Chart Track figures.
How these figures break down by platform went unspecified.
That smashes the previous record held by Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops, which managed 1.41 million units sold and around £58 million in its launch day, November 9, 2010.

Dr-PonyfileLightyear That's awesome, I think GTA V is setting launch records across the world at the moment.
And I think it will do for years to come its titles like this that will be fun to play fpor a long time I still like playing GTA IV on the multiplayer so when they release the MP for GTA V I think it is going to be awesome for ages.
I think that it will also... I want to see all the blimps that are being used in the multiplayer lol...
